Is anyone aware of an effort to repurpose Echo hardware to do HA voice?

I've looked into this, and found nothing. One can surely repurpose the case and speakers, but the microphones are soldered on-board, and the board is not hackable and needs to go. To best of my awareness, there are no ways to load a custom firmware on a newer Echo device - they're locked down pretty tight.
